would you be willing to render the map with tiles ? ( i wish i had the skills to crontrib a pull )

terraFirma -when told where terraria.exe lives- is able to render tiles and fog of war however i've gathered the export function never worked right and was dropped many years ago.

That would be... quite hard to do :P

Terraria's sprite rendering system is really complex, with all the texture offsets, frame important tiles, merging tiles and random tiles. I think I don't have the skills to do that either 😅

You can render the map from inside the game with the Camera Mode, though!

thanks for the quick reply - figured it was a stretch.

regardless, my timeLapse project is starting to take shape, thanks to flying snake. comparing daily renders looks pretty cool. i'm going to string these together into an animated.gif

I think that this would be awesome. I am even willing to help. :)

We could just try to render a scene like "160x90" ( 16x9 screen ratio) for like, to try to visualize a build inside a map.

But, I believe this requires way too many hacks to get it to match the renderer of terraria. And it would be near impossible for us to work our way through reverse engineering.

Maybe we could just set a terraria docker machine in the cloud that loads the world and takes a screenshot :D
